Very hot Norwegians, A-ha: randy (to some extent) (7)

I believe the answer is:

saharan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'very hot' is the definition.
'saharan' can be an answer for 'hot' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm unsure of the 'very' bit.

'norwegians a-ha randy to some extent' is the wordplay.
'to some extent' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'SAHARAN' can be found hidden inside 'norwegians a ha randy'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for saharan that I've seen before include "Deserter" , "Baking" , "Relating to the North African desert" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
